At Paihia School we went on to a trip to Bledisloe mountain. We went because we were doing cross country. I ran around a field and up 2 hills. I came 8th place in the cross country. I enjoyed just giving it a go and doing my best. I didn’t enjoy stepping in the horse poop and going through the mud on the hills. I also did not like going in the water and getting my feet sticky and more muddy every time I went up and down the hills. We practiced mostly everyday and Jade always beat us. I improved in practice because I kept trying my best. I think that I tried my best and kept on going until I dropped.
